Setting the current speed
왘 Accelerate or decelerate to the de-
sired speed.
왘 Briefly lift the cruise control lever in
direction of arrow 1 or depress in di-
rection of arrow 2.
Distronic is activated and the current
speed is set.
왘 Remove your foot from the accelera-
tor pedal.
i If you do not take your foot off of the ac-
celerator completely, the following message
will appear in the multifunction display:
DISTRONIC
OVERRIDE
Distronic will not work to maintain the dis-
tance to slower moving vehicles in front of
you. Your vehicle speed will then be deter-
mined only by the accelerator pedal position.
Setting a higher speed
왘 Briefly tip the cruise control lever in
direction of arrow 1 (
컄 page 227) to
increase vehicle speed in increments
of 5 mph (Canada: 10 km/h).
The new speed is set.
The stored speed is displayed in the
multifunction display for approxi-
mately 5 seconds, and one or two
segments around the stored speed
come on in the speedometer
(
컄 page 225).
i Depressing the accelerator pedal does not
deactivate Distronic. After brief acceleration
(e.g. for passing), the cruise control resumes
the last speed set.
Setting a lower speed
왘 Briefly tip the cruise control lever in
direction of arrow 2 (
컄 page 227) to
decrease vehicle speed in increments
of 5 mph (Canada: 10 km/h).
The new speed is set.
The stored speed is displayed in the
multifunction display for approxi-
mately 5 seconds, and one or two
segments around the stored speed
come on in the speedometer
(
컄 page 225).
i When you use the cruise control lever to
decelerate, the brakes will be applied to sup-
port deceleration.
In addition, the transmission will automatical-
ly downshift on long downhill grades.
